Broker snap: Bid hopes fade for Pilkington

Date: 18 August 2005

Pilkington was downgraded to 'hold' from 'add' at DKW as a rush of bid speculation recently pushed up its share price. DKW said it does not foresee a takeover but didn’t rule out a foreign investor running the slide rule over the group with a 132p price target.

In the short term, the broker has taken a 'trading sell' stance with a 125p target.
